Happy Little Kilns

I seemed to have neglected my blogging duties... I am back in action after a relaxing Holiday spent with family. My first concern upon returning was taking care of our enameling kilns. We have some Enamel classes coming up soonso I want them to be in tip top shape for students and of course for myself and other enamelists in the studio. After searching the internet and making a few calls I came across the Pottery Supply House and their technician Geoff. Yesterday I dropped the kiln off and in a matter of minutes he had it rewired and back up and running. After discussing the issue of cleanliness and enameling in a kiln they suggested simply buying extra shelves to collect any mess and prevent ruining the built in bricks. A very economical choice compared to other options I had researched, and so simple!Now I'm thinking I should give them a try this afternoon just to make sure they do the trick and to get some work done. - Alexis
